salt and pepper to taste

1 cup milk

Bacon

Cook onions, celery, mushrooms and garlic until tinder and then add half bottle of the beer and simmer until about half the liquid is gone. Sit aside and let it cool.

In a large bowl add bread and milk for a few minutes. Add eggs, meat, cheese, salt and pepper, worcestershire sauce and the veggies. Mix well and place into a sprayed pyrex dish and form into a loaf.

We are doing a classic All American cheeseburger on thin buns tonight. In the middle of winter.

Thin buns do not absorb juices well and are not as good at controlling unruly condiments. Also, winter tomatoes suck.

Start by seeding and dicing a Roma tomato. Thin shred some Romaine. Add salt, pepper, mustard, and dill relish to the lettuce and mix well.

I put the top bun on the block and layered the tomatoes and then the lettuce mix.

When the burger with cheese was done, it went on the bottom bun and I flipped it onto the top and then turned everything over.

 

I then enjoyed my OCD burger.

Ooni Koda 16 arrived the other day. Fired it up over the weekend and cranked out some excellent Neapolitan pizza. There’s a learning curve to it. It gets HOT, cooks really quickly and it’s easy to scorch the edge. 
 

This was the best Margherita of the bunch. Cooked in around 90 seconds.

Looks good. Might be able to do some forging with that unit

Nothing beats leoparding on a pizza.

Yeah, really adds a great flavor.

That one was a shade underdone, IMO. Just a little more time and the top would have set better, cheese would have browned a bit and the crust would have had a little better leoparding. I didn't bother taking a pic of the one before it, which went a tad too far the other way
